Was this from 5 years ago, as seems to have happened already ?

Yep, this one will have the same results...

Dunno why they're bothering to have another expensive trade delegation so soon after the other one. Didn't St. Theresa and her band of merry Brexiters go there a couple of months ago where they were told more trade depends on Indians being allowed more access to the UK?

Yep.

Camoron went as well.

I met some interesting people the other week amongst the conversation they mentioned that a well known premium UK shoe manufacturer will be repatriating their assembly lines from India as there is no longer a financial motive to have a build process that has pattern making in the UK with assembly over sea's...

The days of India being the worlds factory are coming to an end...

Non Sequitur.

I've often wondered why the Asians want to work over here when IT is booming in their country and they can move from job to job easily in a relatively high paying industry. The average worker here sharing a terraced house in Bradford could afford a detached property in a good area around Pune with a live in maid.

But even the good ones are not getting paid over there what an "average worker here" is getting paid. Also, even if you are not very good, you get to work with some of the best people over here, especially in London. Also, you get to play with the latest tech on your client's dime and you make valuable contacts.

Different culture.

Rule of (decent) law.

Everything else follows from it (including high taxes).

All that's needed is more Indian call centres - lovely.

They are already writing benefit claims processing systems for a certain London borough... I'd rather not live there, TBH.

Any of the Northerners who voted for Brexit fancy moving over there to get a job?

No need. They can just go to Halifax.
